You can see how Danny’s trail elbow juts, Jack Nicklaus style, and the club goes across the target line. Even though Danny is slender, he doesn’t have a ton of flexibility, so the club goes back to roughly a three-quarter length, and that’s perfectly acceptable. He can still hit his 7-iron 190 yards. Your first reaction to these pictures might be to think Danny’s swing looks unorthodox. It isn’t. It fits him and works very well.
Danny sets his trail hand “on top” of the club, meaning that palm would face the ground if he opened it. This influences the club to move outside the target line on the takeaway.
